Fantastic, unforgettable, farm life, cleanliness, jacuzzi, awesome. It was everything we wanted. After 3 years of vacationing along the West Coast and we decided to now vacation inland for the next 4 years, our 1st Christmas vacation was unforgettable. Braai facilities, swimming facilities as well as water slide, awesome. Me, my wife and boisterous 9 year old farm boy thoroughly enjoyed it. The Christmas dinner, everything was just fantastic.

Fantasties, onvergeetlik, plaaslewe, netheid, jacuzzi, awesome. Dit was alles wat ons wou hê. Na 3 jaar langs die Weskus vakansie en ons besluit om nou binneland vir die volgende 4 jaar vakansie te hou, was ons 1ste Kersfees vakansie onvergeetlik. Braai geriewe, swemgeriewe asook waterglybaan, awesome. Ek, my vrou en woelwater 9-jarige plaasseun het dit terdeë geniet. Die Kersete, alles was net fantasties.

Awesome, just plain delicious. It was strange to us, but the best ever. Sorry about the rain, but it just brought out a new kind of team spirit in everyone. The forest was especially special for the men, they really enjoyed it.

Awesome, net plein lekker. Dit was volksvreemd vir ons, maar die beste ooit. Jammer vir die reën, maar dit het net 'n nuwe soort span gees in almal uitgebring. Die bos was veral iets heel besonders vir die mans, hulle het dit baie geniet.

Rustic and peaceful in beautiful nature. It was mostly quiet during our 5-day stay at the game farm. There is dense bush all around each rondavel. The rondavel and braai area are very rustic. Birdsong can be heard all day long. Sometimes we could clearly hear the passing trucks on the N4 highway. We could also clearly hear the dogs on the neighboring farm barking. The sound of the children enjoying the swimming pools was also audible from the rondavel. The host was friendly and we received good service from him. The host's monkeys, which he keeps in a large cage near the rondavels, never bothered us, because they were very quiet the whole time during our stay. The donkey came looking for attention every now and then. The flies buzzed around his head! At night, the mosquitoes bit us. The host's dogs were also eager to greet us every day. They were full of fleas and we had to stand in awe when they shook their bodies. Guests who like dogs and flies will find them cute. We were unable to explore the farm's dirt road to view wildlife, as we arrived in a sesan vehicle. The host instead took us for a ride in his bakkie, free of charge, but because it is so rugged, we were unable to spot any wildlife. Pilansberg Nature Reserve is nearby, but we advise tourists against driving there. All the roads in the reserve are full of potholes and the grass is 2 meters high, which is why we were unable to spot any wildlife. We enjoyed our day visit to Kgaswane Nature Reserve, which is closer, more. But alas, guests who just want to come to Umbabala to rest and enjoy the peaceful nature, will find value for their money.

Rustiek en rustig in die mooi natuur. Dit was meestal rustig gedurende ons verblyf van 5 dae by die wildsplaas. Daar is oral digte bos om elke rondawel. Die rondawel en braai area is baie rustiek. Voëlssang kan heeldag gehoor word. Soms kon ons die verbygaande trokke op die N4-hoofweg duidelik hoor. Ons kon ook die honde op die naburige plaas duidelik hoor blaf. Die klank van die kinders wat die swembaddens geniet, was ook van die rondawel af hoorbaar. Die gasheer was vriendelik en ons het goeie diens van hom af ontvang. Die gasheer se apies wat hy in 'n groot hok naby die rondawels aanhou, het ons nooit gepla nie, want hulle was tydens ons verblyf heeltyd tjoepstil. Die donkie het kort-kort aandag kom soek. Die vlieë het om sy kop gezoem! Snags het die muskiete ons lekker gesteek. Die gasheer se brakkies was ook gretig om ons elke dag te kom groet. Hulle was vol vlooie en ons moes bontstaan as hulle hul lyfies geskud het. Gaste wat van honde en vlieë hou, sal hulle oulik vind. Ons kon nie die plaas se grondpad verken om wild te besigtig nie, want ons het met 'n sesan voertuig gekom. Die gasheer het instede, sonder onkoste, ons vir 'n rit in sy bakkie geneem, maar omdat dit so ruig is, kon ons geen wild gewaar nie. Pilansberg natuurreservaat is in die omgewing, maar ons raai toeriste af om soontoe te ry. Al die paaie in die reservaat is vol slaggate en die gras staan 2 meter hoog, daarom kon ons geen wild gewaar nie. Ons het ons dagbesoek by Kgaswane natuurreservaat, wat nader is, meer geniet. Maar helaas, gaste wat net by Umbabala wil kom rus en die rustige natuur wil geniet, sal waarde vir hul geld vind.

Memorable antidote to city life. We stayed in the family unit with 5 adults and 4 children. The facilities are very basic. No on-demand hot water, dodgy power, general state of disrepair, but that is just what I was looking for. The whole family could all stay together, braai every night, enjoy the breathtakingly clear starry skies. The kids loved being outside and getting dirty. There is no WiFi or TV, but cellphone reception was fine. We had a normal VW Polo rental car but still made it through the river and dirt road. Sun City and Pilanesberg National Park are only 1 hour away. The lack of luxuries made this a very memorable trip that we will look back on fondly.

Peaceful and beautiful. Tipie was a very good hostess and made you feel at home and you could ask her anything at any time she would help. Oom Johan gave us names of places to go to which was great as we didn't know the area and we enjoyed ourselves so much. The is no shop on the premises as per the site.

Tessa enjoyed every moment. Very peaceful and quiet, just listening to the animals howling and the birds singing. A difference from city life.

Peaceful, amazing getaway. Thank you for a wonderful weekend Umbabala Bush Camp, the tranquility is exactly what we needed, the service was amazing and I would recommend for a quick peaceful break, the places were so clean and everything there was what was needed . Thank you very much.

Rustig, amazing wegbreek. Dankie vir een wonderlike naweek Umbabala Bush Camp, die rustigheid is presies wat ons nodig gehad het, die diens was amazing en ek sal die aanbeveel vir 'n vinnige rustige wegbreek, die plekkies was so skoon en alles wat daar was, is wat nodig is. Baie dankie.

We just stayed the night after the day's work. Braai area was convenient, owners are doing forest thinning and cutting grasses which makes people feel more safe. Towel rails can be added in the bathrooms. Personally, the forest camp is a preference for me.

Ons het net oornag na afloop van die dag se werk. Braai-area was gerieflik, eienaars is besig om bosuitdunning te doen en grasse te sny wat mense meer veilig laat voel. Daar kan gerus handdoekrelings in die badkamers aangedoen word. Persoonlik is die boskamp 'n voorkeur vir my.
